Today Kevin and I walked miles and miles around both Europe and Asia, as Istanbul is the only city in the world divided between two continents. We trod new ground, hand in hand, wide-eyed and a little sleepy from jet-lag, but no less thrilled by how magical the air sits in this exciting place.
We woke this morning to a million dollar view of the city {you an see a pic from our balcony on instagram here}, thanks to some sweet people who opened their home on AirBnB. We soaked in thousands of years of history, liked and disliked a few new foods, and capped the night off sharing a meal with a sweet Turkish couple who shared about the ways God is moving int his place.
The world opens my eyes, and I am so very grateful. I am in "explore" mode and I feel fresh and free. Here's to being explorers today friends,
Happy Wednesday with love and hugs from Istanbul,
